Does the organizer see who everyone is assigned to in the emails?

No! Each email contains an encrypted, unique reveal link. The organizer only sees delivery status, keeping the identity of everyone's Secret Santa 100% secret from the host as well.

Do you sell or spam participants' email addresses?

Never. We believe in strict privacy. Email addresses entered on SecretSantaSpin are strictly used to route holiday event invitations and are never sold to advertisers or marketing lists.

Can I use custom email templates?

Yes. Our email generation includes customizable subjects, budget limits, event dates, and personal notes so your holiday invitations look polished and festive.

What happens if a participant enters a typo in their email address?

No problem! You don't have to restart the draw. Simply unlock to update their email or copy their individual secret link and text it to them directly.

Will corporate email filters (Outlook, Gmail Workspace) block these emails?

Because we provide direct mailto: links and custom text options, you can send the invitations directly from your own personal or company email address, guaranteeing 100% inbox delivery with zero spam blocking!
